Papillon | CKC Breed Facts & Profile

Evidence of small dogs being owned by royalty has existed throughout history, and the Continental Toy Spaniel’s history is no exception. Pint-sized Spaniels have been popular among European royalty for well over a thousand years. These dogs were known as the Continental Toy Spaniel. We can see these small Spaniel-type dogs depicted throughout history and as early as the 1200s when medieval lords and ladies prided themselves on their small pampered pups.

Thanks to many of the famous Renaissance painters who portrayed these little royal dogs in their work from the fourteenth century through the seventeenth century, we are able to learn about this breed’s lifestyle, origin, and development. Many paintings, wall frescoes, and tapestries containing the family dog were created, and, not surprisingly, many of these depict the small Spaniel-type dogs that were so near and dear to the royal and wealthy culture of the time.
